    Why support Oregon
    Wave Energy Trust?

    Wave energy is one key
    part of the comprehensive
    alternative energy
    solution for Oregon.
    And thanks to a
    combination of unique
    characteristics is
    the only source of
    energy where Oregon
    enjoys such a clear
    competitive advantage.
    As a result, Oregon’s
    wave energy industry
    provides myriad opportunities
    to deliver significant
    economic benefits to the state.

    Oregon Wave Energy
    Trust (OWET) works
    closely with our state-
    wide stakeholders:
    fishing and environmental
    groups, coastal
    communities and
    industry, government
    agencies and other
    partners in responsibly
    developing this new industry while
    establishing Oregon
    as the North American
    leader in wave energy.
    The work that we do
    is the real benefit we
    offer our members.
